Character limitations enforced by carriers

Our recommendation is to always pare down information in scripts so that the interaction can carry a lot of the intention: real conversations with real people. On top of that, carriers can actually enforce a text limit when sending information out, based on the amount of characters they allocate as 'text length'.

While some of the largest carriers in the country are able to maintain cohesive messages even when we get a little wordy, be aware that some will break your message up if you exceed the recommendations below. This would most commonly look like 2+ messages being sent out in reverse order than intended, like so:

Using emojis makes this even more difficult because it changes the amount of allowed characters just by existing in a sentence.
